APDS-9006-020 Miniature Surface-Mount Ambient Light Photo Sensor Data Sheet Description Features The APDS-9006 is a low cost analog-output ambient light Excellent responsivity which peaks in the human photo sensor in a Reverse Mount, 4 pin miniature chipLED luminosity curve, close responsivity to the human eye lead free surface mount package, with temperature and ChipLED surface-mount package Reverse Mounting voltage compensation features. It consists of a spectrally Height 1.10mm suited photo sensor, which provides excellent respon- Width 3.20mm sivity that is close to the response of the human eyes, as Depth 1.60mm shown in figure 2. Good output linearity across wide illumination range The APDS-9006 is ideal for applications in which the Low sensitivity variation across various light sources measurement of ambient light is used to control display Stable performance over temperature and voltage backlighting such as in Note-book, mobile phone, PDA Operating temperature, -40C to 85C applications that draw heavy current from display back- lighting will benefit from incorporating these photo Vcc supply 2.4 to 5.5V sensor products in their designs by reducing power con- Lead-free package sumption significantly. Other applications include ESS, Applications Automatic Residential and Commercial Lighting Manage- ment.
